The logs are .75" x 1.25". The length between notches is 4".
The longest log is 16" 3 4" sections, 4 .75" notches and 2 .5" end
sections. 12 + 3 +1 = 16". I know that the original logs were round
and brown with green roof and red chimney. My look is more like the
cabins that were built from rectangular logs which was common with
many old log cabins.

I recently acquired a mixed lot of big leaf maple. There
was some curly and spalted in the mix. It was $50 for
about 180 BF. One of the first projects was Lincoln Logs.
the set I had as a kid was fairly small and did not allow
for large creative projects. This one contains about 200
pieces. They were finished with a home brew oil and
varnish mixture

Here are samples of the Lincoln logs

Here is a simple house

Here is a more complicated house. Roof members can be used as floor
boards. There are enough pieces to build a larger house on top of a
small stockade.
